Oracle Financials Cloud: General Ledger 2017 Implementation Essentials — Question 42

A business entity (your client) sells a computer, monitor, keyboard, and mouse as a single package to consumers. The entity has identified that this bundle is a distinct performance obligation.
How would you configure the Performance Obligation Identification Rule to ensure correct grouping of these items?

Answer options

• A. by defining a grouping on an extensible line attribute and ensuring that the source lines for the specified items contain different values for that attribute
• B. by defining a grouping rule on the customer class
• C. by defining a grouping on an extensible line attribute and ensuring that the source lines for the specified items contain the same value for that attribute
• D. by defining an item group and assigning that to the rule
• E. by defining an exclusion rule to exclude customer classes that are "Retail"

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer, A, ensures that each item in the bundle is treated as a distinct entity by assigning different values to the extensible line attribute. Options B and D do not specifically address the need for differentiation in grouping, while option C incorrectly suggests the same value for the attribute, which would not support the distinct performance obligation. Option E is unrelated as it focuses on excluding certain customer classes rather than grouping items.
